Pinwheels

Pinwheel Maker is a title I never thought I would earn! Not as hard as it looks though...we tried these for after-school art and they turned out just fine! The students had fun running up and down the hallways making their pinwheels spin.I can't remember which blog I found this idea on...but there are a few variations out there in cyberspace. We used thumbtacks stuck into pencil erasers...but the 1st grade teachers at my school tried these with brads stuck through the center of their pinwheel and rolled up paper for the stem.Happy Pinwheeling!

About Me

I am beginning my third year teaching Art to grades K-9 at a wonderful charter school. Blogs by other Art teachers make my lesson planning so much easier and much more fun! I love having a whole online group of art colleagues. I hope to be able to share some ideas that are worth trying out in your own classroom. Some of my ideas are original and some of the ideas on this page are ones that I have borrowed and tweaked a little to fit my lesson objectives. Feel free to borrow anything you see here and if you do, I would love to see your results!
